Loretto Junior School pupil, Isla Yong not only had seven inches of hair cut-off to raise funds for her mother’s charity, The Teapot Trust, but also donated her hair for cancer charity, The Little Princess Trust.

The Teapot Trust is dedicated to providing professional art therapy in a medical environment to children coping with chronic illness and the Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs for children with hair loss.
